The Educational Alliance presents Drawings of the Lower East Side by Nathan Hilu.

Nathan Hilu is an 83 year-old artist who has been drawing almost everyday of his life. Nathan draws local shops, shop keepers, synagogues and sites of the lower east side. He also does drawings of Jewish Holidays and biblical scenes. Nathan was born in New York City, raised in Pittsburgh, was in the army at the end of World War II, and later was station in Korea. At 18 years old, he was a security guard at the Nuremberg prison for the trials. In 2008 working from his vivid visual memory Nathan did a series of drawing of the Nuremberg prison and the occupants.

This exhibit is a companion exhibit with the annual exhibit celebrating ‘Older Americans Month’ in the Ernest Rubenstein Gallery.
